People do not like to have governments thrust upon them by a foreign power, even a government of philosopher kings. Let the people of Venezuela solve this one by themselves.
We have far to often gone abroad looking for monsters to slay, and unleashing an arrogant thug like Pompeo can only damage our standing in the world.
“Elliott Abrams will lead U.S. efforts on Venezuela”
Whatta mistake.
The 80s are over and so are the neo-cons who got tens of thousands killed in idiot wars. Not to mention costing us trillions.
Maduro and his gangsters just want the oil money. They dont care how many people leave, they are only going to keep the money for themselves. Take away the cash and they collapse.
I would rather we focus on our own problems rather than meddle in this crap at this time. The Venezuelan issue was going to sort itself out in due time. We need to focus some energy here, we’re about to have our own war.
Elliot Abrams is a NeoCon never Trumper. I wouldn’t appoint him to clean up a sandbox.
A horrible choice.
